"I'm not a bit superstitious, not In

in the country until the holidays.
"Possitively, I believe I should go mad
if I ever heard that blood-curdling

the opening of the link between the
oceans and come into possession of
that great trade empire in the south-
ern hemisphere which up till tnjw has
belonged largely to our foreign trade
rivals.
These plans, which have to do with
the docking and transfer facilities at
the two ends of the canal, are in some
respects as important as those of the
actual canal prism. Without them,
In the opinion of shipping experts
whom President Taft has consulted,
the canal might Btand as a tremend-
ous monument to the altruism of a
nation and not much else so far as re-
gards any advantage this country
might secure over its European rivals
In the trade of South America. One
of the aims which the administration
now has in the development of this
phase of the enterprise is to preclude
the possibility of the canal serving
only to tighten the grip which Europe
now has upon markets which should
be ours. As it was expressed the other
day by a shipping man. the question
now is: "Shall the canal pay the divi-
dends It ought to pay?"
With Germany and Great Britain
equipped as they are with ocean ear
rlers and their trade tentacles alrendy
fastened upon South America, the pos-
sibility that the cnnnl might see a
steady procession of ships flying a for-
eign flag hns not been lost sight of
by those who planned the canal nor by
some of the American shipping Inter-
ests naturally concerned in the mat-
ter.
Gigantic Docks Planned.
Because of tho Importance of the
work, which has to do with tho actual
digging of the canal itself not much
public attention lias been Invited to
the plans which have been forming
for the utilization of the eanal as a
trade factor. About the first pubile
intimation of the extent of these plans
came at the conference of the Pan-
American Trade I'nion in Washington
when Bernard N. Baker of Baltimore,
who has been Intimately connected
with this phase of the canal work
from its inception, outlined to the
conference the government plans for
what It Is believed will be-the moBt
complete system of docks and har-
bors in the world.
The system of docks described by
Mr. Baker aud upon which work al-
ready has started will embrace bo'h
the Atlantic and the Pacific end of
the canal. Their Initial cost will be
in the neighborhood of $14,000,000.
In order that this country may not
bo outstripped at the very start of (he
race for trade which will follow the
opening of the waterway the plan Is
to have this work at least half com-
pleted by the time the canal is opened
and in such a state as to be available
for commercial purposes
The docks proposed for Panama
might be compared to a Junction on a
great trunk line, a distributing point
for local freight. . The advantage of
having such a system of docks in con-
nection with the canal was ren'Iy not
foreseen at t)ie lime the enterprise
was begun. Beyond protecting the
entrances by breakwaters nothing was
Considered except to construct the
rnnal itself and leave It open to the
nations of the world to get what ad-
vantage they could out of it—a fnir
field and no favors, as it were.
Expert Opinion Sought.
With work actually started on the
canal, however, the question of Its
proper utilization began to loom up
pretty large. The first man to con-
sldtr " is i-pert rerlously was Mr.
?cofvelt'B eecreicry of war, Luke B.
Trisi't Mr. Roosevelt also became
c ' r>r.d '.opither they sent for
M*. Baker, the organizer and builder
of the Atlantic Transport line, who
since his retirement from business has
taken a deep interest in tills country's
commercial development and has been
regarded as an expert on tho subject.
Mr. Baker quickly pointed out to
Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary Wright
that the canal enterprise lacked a
business end, which It should have;
that It should embrace some sys'em
of docks the advnntago of which could
be seized by this country's shipping.
end It Is estimated will cost In thf
neighborhood of $4,000,000 and tliosr
at the Pacific end $10,000,000. This
will come out of the general cana!
fund.
When these Improvements are com
pleted It will be possible for n ship tc
load at New York, for example, with
freight for tho Pacific const and also
with freight for Central and South
America. The former class of freight
would be put In the hold and the lat

Two Miles of Docks.
The extreme length of the land re-
served for these docks Is two miles,
but only about two thirds of this is to
be improved immediately. That ships
will have no trouble in turning tie
tween the two lines of piers Is Indl-
scribed by Mr. Haker.
Freight Easily Transshipped.

be these Partlflc docks and the cargo

cranes would transfer this cargo to

basin, the distance will be 3.000 feet,
or more than the fairway on the Hud

One of the most Interesting .'eatures
In connection with the piers Is ifceir
slanting direction. They will slant
toward the canal. This was decided
east or Trom South America. While
of course (hese docks are to be opened
to al! ships, their advantage to this
country lies In the fnct that such facil-
ities for transporting American goods
means the opening of a trade door
upon by experts In the matter, for the j which has heretofore been shut, giving
our Atlantic coast porta for the first
time a chance to compete with and

Mirtate difficulties that would other-
wise be encountered by reason of the
2fl-foot tide there.
Where the Pacific piers are to be
there Is now a swamp. To construct
the basin It will be necessary to
dredge this to a depth of 35 feet at
moan tide. The excavated material
will be used to fill In other parts of
the swamp to make ground for the
transfer, yards of the Panama railroad,
which Is to extend around the basin
with a spur of track running on to
each pier.
As projected now these docks on
the Pacific side will be probably the
largest and most completely appointed
system of docks In the world. The
new Tilbury docks at Ixjndon have
a water ar*a of only 70 acres to com-
pare with the area of 271 acres of the
Panama turning basin alone. What
Is more, these docks are to be
equipped with the most modern elec-
tric cargo handling machinery. In
eluding huge overhead electrical
cranes and a system of escalators for
handling 'tween deck cargoes, the en
tire system to be operated probably

The docks to be erected at the At-
lantic side are not so extensive, as

To understand the possibilities

draw a line from some of the Atlantic
! ports down to Valparaiso, making It
go through the canal. By reason of
the peculiar bend of the Isthmus such

north and south line. Freight may be
shipped from New York by a 16 knot
boat through the canal to Valparaiso.
